among which several mountain stages, including two stages on Alpe d'Huez. Never won the polka dotted jersey, but actually, he only cared about the yellow one.
We can hear discussions about the fact if he's a real climber or not. According to us, he certainly deserves to be here. But you vote...

His main tactic was to loose a lot of time in the first week of the Tour so that the favourites let him attack in the first big mountain stage and earn a lot of points for the polka dotted jersey.
